Today we focus on identifying talent and selecting teams, a hot topic at all levels of the game. 

We get the national picture from David Court, the new ECB Player Identification Lead and the local outlook from James Hibberd, Regional Performance Manager for the Hampshire Pathway. 

A great listen with real significance for parents, coaches and players. 

They discuss;

Importance of giving players time to develop
The issues with one off trials
Talent ID in other sports and how players should play multiple sports
Hopes for the future

Also fixtures updates with mentions for Totton & Eling CC, Calmore Sports, Burridge CC and Overton CC.
